TRIPLE-GAGE, BUTT-GAGE, AND TOOL HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 1, 1906.

Application filed September 19,1905. Serial No. 279,074.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILLIP GYssLER, a citizen of the UnitedStates, anda resident of Cleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio,have invented a new and Improved Triple-Gage, Butt-Gage, and ToolHolder, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to a triple-gage, buttgage, and tool holder forimplements used in woodworking and carpentry.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a convenient holderwith means for olding gages, squares, paring-chisels, scribers,compasses, keyhole-saws, and the like in a convenient and simple mannerand to provide means for affording adjustments for certain of theseparts.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference designatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a holder constructed in accordancewith the principle of my invention supplied with certain tools. Fig. 2is a bottom plan of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3 3of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a top plan showing certain of the implementsreplaced by others.

The holder is illustrated as comprising a block of wood or metal made inany desired way and provided with a pair of transverse perforations afor receiving bars I). These perforations are provided with extensions aand the bars with projections b for entering the extensions andperforations and guiding the bars, so as to prevent them from rotatingon their axes. The bars may, however, project entirely through theblock, and when the projections b are not within the block itself theseparts can turn, except when secured in stationary position by screws 0.The, projections b are preferably mounted upon the ends of the bars andmay serve as markingpoints. I have also shown one of the bars as beingprovided with a wheel d, journaled on a screw 6 and rotatable freelyupon its axis, so as to pass over the grain of the wood without digginginto it too deeply. These bars constitute triple and mortise gages. Ihave shown a butt and angle gage f, provided with a slot f and securedto the block by a screwy. This gage is provided with anupwardly-extended portion f 2 and a flat cutter f 3 upon one end of theblock. The extension 2 forms a surface against'which the work I can becaused to abut and affords a gage for a pin h, which is mounted in astationary position upon the block and also serves as a marker, theadjustment of the gage providing for lengthening or shortening thedistance between it and the pin. It will thus be seen that the same gageserves for both the marker h and flat cutter f and also that both thegage and marker are adjustable. I have shown a brad-awl holder i on oneside of the block for supporting an awl in a wellknown manner.

In Fig. 4 I have shown one of the bars I) as being replaced by a bar 7c,having a head k for supporting a ratchet screw-driver Z.

In Figs. 2, 3, and 4 I have shown a blade m, either square for casing orbase bevel, for miter, or for chamfering patterns on ends, as supportedon the back of the holder by a screw n and washer/n. This blade passesthrough a slot in the side of the holder and forms a right angle withthe surface thereof. It can be provided with divisions to assist inmeasuring or it can be replaced by a chisel 0 or the like. A pin 00 isused for large scrib-- ing casing or base or for compasses. The screws0, g, and n may be provided with nuts for holding them.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. A tool-holder, comprising a block having a passagetherethrough, a bar in said passage having a scriber thereon, a gagemounted on the outside of the block, means for adjustably securing saidgage to the block, and a stationary scribing-point mounted on the block.

2. A to0l-holder comprising a block having a passage therethrough, a barin said passage having a scriber thereon, a gage mounted on the block,means for adjustably securing the gage to the block, and a stationaryscribing-point on the block.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

PHILLIP GYSSLER.
